This week’s What’s in Your Purse Series purse is from my friend Michelle of Startup Princess. Thanks!
If you want to submit your purse to the series take two photos of your purse {nice, clean non-blurry ones} one of the outside, one of the inside, along with a listing of the contents to allisonATpetitelefantDOTcom


Instead of working last Friday morning I took everything out of my purse. I should have taken a picture of the view inside before I took all this business out, but what’s done is done (though of course, it’s already back to looking like a trash bag…) What I really want in my life is a Mary Poppins bag or a One Fine Day bag, where I can have much more in it than it looks. As it is, my bags are compartmentalize. I take my purse on everything personal, doctors appointments, girls nights, dates, etc. I have a business bag with catalogs, notebooks and businessy stuff that goes to networking events and client meetings and I have a diaper bag that pretty much lives in the car. I wish I could somehow make it all one, but then it would weigh 30 pounds and I’d break my bag.
